And the money you save NOT paying HOA fees can go toward renovation. And yes, I watch HGTV WAAAAAAY too much.

As soon as I saw it, I said "That wall will be removed before we move in." The listing agent was horrified. ![]()

![]() But the short commute would be the deal sealer. You can't buy time, or sanity, which commutes suck the life out of. ![]() And this way you can put the car up on blocks, which you can't due in an HOA place.

You're in FL, right? Does house A's neighborhood have a lot of foreclosures?
House B sounds like a winner. 5 minutes to the beach and downtown has a LOT of value. Jobs come and go, but the beach ain't movin'. I wouldn't call 2000 sq ft a ton of space (me, my wife, and 4 cats fill it pretty well with all our crap), but it's certainly not crowded for the average family. And does B have space to expand the garage? Build a workshop/bike storage/detatched? A regular 2-carhole leaves zero room to boogie. But if you don't have to deal with HOA bullshit and have at least a bit of land, there's potential. I would guess that house A is new/recent construction, and B is older, maybe 80s? New construction in boom areas tends to be of shit quality, but tropical weather ages stuff quickly.

We have a 3 bedroom ranch that's just under 1400sq feet on 100x100
No problem with 2 kids, 2 adults, 2 cats and 2 goldfish. |

I'd go smaller, but I think the idea of any less than 10 people living in 3500 sq ft is just assanine.
![]() That's personal preference. I'd rather have a cozier place with lower bills(including gas mileage) than a giant box out in the suburbs. I had the big box in suburbs. It's mega lame. |

You may not be happy if you let other people make your decisions for you.
![]() That said, I personally like smaller houses. Someone mentioned that house A will appreciate more when the market comes back. Maybe it will, but I'd prefer to be 5 minutes from the beach. And I'd think house B would be MUCH easier to sell simply due to location. If you don't have the need for all that space, I'd go with house B and save gas money, utility money, sanity, etc. by having a shorter drive to work and a shorter drive to the beach. But that's me. You might want the seclusion of house A. I hate to clean, so I know I'd spend a lot of money on a maid coming in to clean all the time. ![]() |
